Campbell Staying as McNabb's Backup?

The Redskins Insider on the Washington Post released an article this morning saying that Jason Campbell may be staying with the Redskins. You can see the post here:

I have to say that the idea of keeping Jason Campbell kinda confuses me. Yes, I understand he is a solid backup to Donovan McNabb and probably a better choice than Rex Grossman.  I also understand that McNabb is injury prone. But if the Redskins signed McNabb thinking he would be injured, then they should not have signed him at all.  I think that if the Redskins can get a draft pick or 2 or a young talent for Jason Campbell, they should do so, especially if this talent is an offensive lineman. The Redskins have made it clear that Campbell is not the quarterback of the future for the Redskins so why not ship him out? Unfortunately, the market value for Campbell seems to be low. Either way, keeping Campbell and Grossman is a waste. We need to figure out what we can do with Campbell besides letting him sit on the bench.

I'm glad that it seems the Redskins have been allowing Campbell to look for better situations for himself. He has been treated badly for the last few years in Washington and has never been given the best chance to succeed.  The Redskins have never had a good offense for him to work with. There has also been tons of talk that Campbell is not the quarterback for the future and the Redskins have been consistently looking for a replacement. That talk may be warranted, and personally I'm not sure Campbell has what it takes either.  It is unfortunate the Redskins had to trade up to get Campbell and then he ends up doing nothing with us. I do think that if he had a good offense he would have been a mediocre quarterback that was able to take the team into the playoffs. Perhaps a quarterback like Mark Rypien?  But anyway, those days are done and it is time to move away from Jason Campbell. We are obviously going to have to find a new quarterback to replace McNabb in a few years. Let's get what we can for Campbell to help improve this team for the future.
